Kel didn't want to open her eyes to greet the intruder. Moments before she had been so comfortable in Reid's arms and then some peasant girl decided to come in and ruin Kel's few moments of peace. She could her Reid's commanding voice asking the woman questions and the soft, almost whispered replies, but she didn't move, couldn't move. She felt like she was dozing off as the King of the Court stroked her hair, the pounding in her temples drowning out all noise in the hall.
"Reid..." She moaned. Her head ached fiercely, the heat of magic burning beneath her skin. She felt her friend's fingers still against her cheek. Her own digits gripped his shirt tightly in her fists, tugging and she began to writhe in hopes of cooling the fire that was building inside of her, "Reid!"
She felt herself being jostled, felt herself being moved, felt cool lips soothing the skin at her temples and whispering words in her ear.
"Hang on, Kel. Where is the healer? You'll be fine, Ke- where is he, dammit?!"
The world exploded behind her eyelids and Kel fell limp.
((don't know where this came from... just more attempts at advancing plot and stirring up drama! Yay!))
